Trivia/Info
- From TMBG Unlimited: "Cabbagetown is in fact a real place, a quite dilapidated part of inner-city Atlanta, and yet the description of dogs and porches is actually completely accurate as Cabbagetown is one of the few remaining parts of that city that is a throw back to its more rural vibe."
- The Dial-A-Song version of the song used the line "He said camels have hard eyes and dead men don't talk back" in place of "With a bottle in one hand and another in the other".
- This was one of the songs played by TMBG at their very first live show.
